The Voter Empowerment Act, particularly voter registration modernization, would address serious inherent issues within our system that were highlighted in 2012.
The Brennan Center works tirelessly to advance vital, national election reforms that protect and enhance our democratic system by expanding voter participation and curbing the influence of money in politics.
By modernizing voter registration, providing more early voting opportunities, and setting minimum national standards for polling place access, America can fix the long lines that plague our elections and bring the system into the 21st century.
Now that the election is over, the Brennan Center revisits some of the most important spending trends in the races that decided the battle for control of the House.
In the wake of Election 2012, we need basic national standards to minimize long lines at the polls and ensure that every eligible American who takes responsibility to vote is properly registered and can cast a ballot that counts.
